Smartphone Studies Have Shown That

Did you know recent UK studies have shown that British girls are more likely to use smartphones than boys?

In a recent survey, results have shown that British girls aged 7-15, compared to boys of the same age, are more likely to own a smartphone. 45% of girls said they use their smartphone on a daily basis compared to 35% of boys, whereas 14% of children in this age group claimed to never using a smartphone before and the other 6% were younger children who were less likely to use them.

From this research it shows that girls are more likely to own an MP3 player or laptop computer whereas boys generally tend to own a desktop computer.

The research also shows that the reason for this is because boys of a younger age most likely tend to opt for bigger technology based products such as entertainment devices or desktop PCs whereas girls in this age bracket tend to lean towards technology based items which use high volumes of communication and collaborating.

Many people agree with this statement as they can relate it to their children’s preferences and the technology they have within their homes. Parents have stated that whilst their daughters sit at home on their smartphone, their sons usually tend to use the Wii, Xbox, PlayStation devices or playing games on the desktop/ laptop.

Have a think about whether this relates to you!
